August 18.—Ex- | President Coolidg birthplace and present Summer home is making an astonishing record as & mec- | ca for pngrlm ‘Without looking up figures for comparison, it seems { likely that more persons make Visits to Plymouth. than to any other place as- sociated with any other American, liv- ing or dead. It would be interesting to get the figures as well as the facts that would make falr comparison, With Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, Mr Hoover's birthplace at West Branch, Towa; Woodrow Wilson's birthplace at Staunton, Va., as well as Mount Ver- non, Wakefield and others. A Coolidge neighbor who acts as vol- unteer guide says the number of Vis- itors s “two t0 four hundred a day and up to 600 on Sundays.” The fig- | ures seemed surprising, but it turned | out the guide was practicing & char- acteristic New England trait of un- derstatement. The register for visitors kept in the room in which Mr. Coolidge was born showed 111 signatures on | the day the writer of this dispatch | counted them. It was then about four | in the afternoon. Nearly all the sig- natures read “and family,” and less than half the visitors sign the register. One, at least, of tie aspects of Plymouth that allure tourists is the ring in of . Coolidge to office. ‘“Their first quemon the guide says, “is ‘Where is room where his father swore him m by lamplight after midnight?’ " The guide mdded, “and their second ques- tion 1s, * “When will he run again?” The Plymouth neighbors, having & firm faith in self-interest as the dom- | inating motive of man, think firmly that Mr. Coolidge will run again and be elected again. They cite evidences which, to their shrewd though not completely informed eyes, support their confidence that their neighbor will “choose to run” again. They ignore the obstacles to Mr. Coolidge being the Republican candidate in 1932—obstacles residing in Mr. Coolidge’s own mind, in the minds of the Republican party leaders, and in the very nature of the | situation. However, “again” might | mean as late as 1936, for Mr. Coolidge | was only 59 last Fourth of July. | As to Mr. Coolidge running in 1932, | that could happen only as the result of | one eventuality. Consider, for example, | what would be the reaction of the coun- try and of the Republican party if by | any tragic fatality President Hoover should pass away as suddenly as Presi- dent Hardirg in the midst of his term. The immediate result would be, of course, that Vice President Curtis would become President for the unexpired term. The public, however, would in- stantly look beyond that. Mr. Curtis | would not be nominated for President | next year, because no party will nom- inate a man more than 73 years old, as | Mr. Curtis will be in 1932. It is'a falr surmise that much of the public and most of the Republican party would mm with spontaneous insistence to Mr. Coolidge.

But on the evidence of the amazing tide of visitors to Plymouth, he is entitled to feel that Jarge numbers of his countrymen would be glad to have him President at any time he might “choose to run.” So long &s he lives he will be in the pub- lic mind as a kind of permanent Vice President to whom much of the country would turn in great emergency. Judg- ing by his appearance and his ease of mind, his years should be long in the land. Just now he'has gone back for a few days to his permanent Winter home in Northampton. He was at Plymouth for four weeks. The visitors wore out the paint on the floor of the little sitting room in which his father ordered a new coat of paint to be put | on the floor. When the paint is dry |he will come back to Plymouth.
